The Aazh Naamori language from Peacock's Vampire Academy is written using an abugida created by David J. Peterson and Jessie Sams.
Orthography
Aazh Naamori is written with an abugida, meaning that the script consists of base consonant glyphs which are modified to indicate the quality of the following vowel. Consonant glyphs can be pronounced with (or without) an inherent a vowel after it. They may be modified by diacritics in order to represent a following i or u vowel.
The o vowel is written as the orthographic sequence wu. Correspondingly, the vowel e is written as yi.
Initial vowels
Historically, there existed a glyph which signified h, a sound which is no longer part of the modern language. This now lives on as what is effectively a 'carrier' glyph for initial vowels.
Codas
Certain glyphs may appear in coda position, and their shapes are altered in such cases.
